major lazer – pon de floor

Major Lazer “Pon De Floor” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

and then a funny thing i found on youtube

enjoy

i spent yesterday evening with izzi n her boyfriend mark. we had a nicish dinner by the canal in sardo. nice food, but poor value for money, and one rude waiter. but the guys were fun, and i spent some time with fronk, izzi’s baby puppy pug. it is insane, and pugly and cute and wierd!

i picked up a new pair of yen jeans. i love the design of these jeans. they aren’t cheap, but i guarentee that i will wear the life out of them. i haven’t really worn much in the way of other trousers, apart from yen’s, in the past 4 years. independant small designers beat the highstreet in my opinion.

i then met agota up in turnpike lane and we set off for fishguard. so this journey was slow due to traffic, and to make the long day worse, we arrived 40 minutes after a ferry left, leaving us with a two and a half hour wait before the next departure. also i had a couple of words from the local constabulary due to an overtaking i made earlier in the county, but all fine. it shows how different a world that i have been living in to that which is so close by.

so the ferry wasn’t without incident. agota and i sat upstairs to avoid the crowds of kids, to get some peace. once we left, she made a little joke about sea sickness. but this soon turned into a nightmare, for agota, and the whole ship. we were on a smallish catamaran ferry and so the small swells caused a lot of rolling. after 15 minutes agota ran to the toilets, and i didn’t see her for an hour and a half. for the rest of the ship, i have never seen so many sick people in my life. 80% of the passengers were regularly using the sick bags. piles of them dissappeared from the stocks. i didn’t have the slightest problem, but it was pretty disturbing to watch it, like watching a school that has just been poisoned. well you should have seen the passenger’s faces pick up colour when the captain announced that we were 10 minutes from land.

the drive to dublin was peaceful and slow. the government here really pushes the lower speed limit, and with shock signs it is very effective.

agota and i went out for a pint, some greasy food and came home for a bit more drinking, and a french chat with her flatmates. so it’s time for bed, it’s been a long day.

but first you have to watch the best ever topgear road test:

ever. jeremy clarkson at his best, in a ford fiesta!!!

Listening to knife with weebls-stuff.com after drinking and smoking.

finally after 2 weeks of very little snow and lots of sun, it seemed like all of the snow would soon be gone, and as i speak it is snowing now yay for a powder day!

with christian here and beautiful sunny days, i’ve been out partying so much, so now i need rest. i feel a bit shitty, and need less booze for a while. i want to get soem snowboarding done, and that’s difficult when hangin!

today’s skiing just about killed me, after one sketchy run i could barely hold a bottle to drink from.

well anyway, yesterday was the verbier extreme competition and the finals for the world freeride championship. it was a lovely sunny day and loads of people were perched up on mont fort to watch the action. i don’t think i can imagine how to describe how extreme it is, so watch the video:

so i’m quitre excited about thsi year. we are only 1/4 done and it’s been crazy, i expect it is going to be crazier yet!!!

mardi gras was great, i don’t remember all. and i did something i regret, which is a big rarity for me. so i feel bad for something.

i did stupidly carry my camera all night, so have some good photos!

mardi gras 09 verbier, with ian, fancy dress party

so time to chill a while.

meanwhile plans are falling into place! plane tickets are being bought for the future.

and what have i been doing?

mainly partying, working, and some riding.

jack and nastia left, with a big party before that, so there was a hungover day in martigny, which was nice, purely for escaping the verb.

some of us have made plans for may. so after i meet dad in albania, hopefully with nicola, and climb a mountain. after that ian and his girlfriend courtney and possibly alex will fly down and meet me, and we’ll spend a month or so touring eastern europe. i have been wanting to do this for many years, so i can’t wait!!! i looked at heading to russia, but there is no way i am driving, let alone taking my car there, so maybe we’ll head to warsaw and fly into russia, to see moscow and head to st. petersburg to meet nastia.

there is a possibility of heading up to holland for queens day, which is the biggest dutch party of the year. it’s at the end of april.

we have a new flat mate, stef. she works in l’atelier, with rob, and just got out of a messy relationship, but she’s a super nice girl.

i have applied for a canadian visa! so this is a once in a lifetime thing, so if i don’t go, i’ll miss out on the opportunity to work and travel in canada! so it seems that i’ll be spending a year of my life in canada! another great thing in the planning.

today’s riding was phenominal (not a word used to describe riding), AWESOME!!! we had lots of snow over the past 3 days, and today was clear blue skies. i was lucky enough to ride with some real good guys, which always makes it better.

we’re due plenty more snow within the next week, so yeh, it’s going to be a great time!!!

check out this cool guy’s music, wax tailor:

so it seems that i should update more often, being that this is soo long!

well tonight i’m staying at home with a movie alone, which shall be nice

today nic n toto and i went to the aquapark and it rules, loads of slides, some with inflatable rings for up to three people. toto managed to cut his eyebrow open on the floor and we could see the goo inside his face! he got some sticky stitches and we could carry on having fun!
there were some very steep and fast ones, and was great!!! it was all indoors so it doesn’t matter that its been raining since lunchtime.
i had to take toto to the surgery, he got stitches for real!
so now the weather sucks and our plans for a walk tomorrow followed by outdoor baths are not going to work so well.
i need to work out where i’m going to stay thursday, friday and saturday nights.

oh and check out the chocolate skulls!

one last thing edible baby:
